The times are critical and being indecisive is the worst mistake a person can ever make. I call on all young Cameroonians across the nation who registered to participate in the upcoming elections to prepare themselves and make sure their voices count. Don't let anyone deceive you that your vote won't count, it does.
Refusing to participate in elections is indirectly giving the vote to the regime. It's time to wake up. I had chosen to stand against all odds for my nation and the people but I know the risk attached to it. I am not a novice.
When Mohamed Karim, in this case the Egyptian who undertook to resist the assault of Alexandria launched by Napoleon, was arrested by the army and sentenced to death, Napoleon appealed to him and said: "I feel troubled to kill a man who has valiantly defended his country, I will not wish history to retain from me the image of a person who stifles the impetus of the patriots to defend the integrity of their homeland, thus, I promise you freedom if you pay ten thousand gold coins as financial compensation to my soldiers that the resistance killed ", smiling, Mohamed Karim replied:" I do not have the full amount requested on me, but I am indebted more than 100 thousand pieces of gold to the merchants of Alexandria, they will pay for sure, so that I have my life saved! "
Chained, he was driven to the Alexandria market in search of the money on which his freedom will depend. But, to his great surprise, no merchant was on his fate, worse, the natives accused him of being a troublemaker, destroyer of property, and damage to the economic vitality of the port city of Alexandria! "
Napoleon, seeing the resignation of his family towards him, declared: "I will concede that the sentence of capital punishment is executed not because you killed my soldiers, but for having fought for cowardly people, who count more about their business than about their integrity! "
Mohamed Rachid Rida, Syrian Arab said: "To revolt on behalf of an ignorant people, is self-immolation by fire to light the way to a blind man!"
We have a duty to fight for the interests of our community and our people but more so, we have a responsibility to guide our people to be enlightened and become aware of themselves.
We of The Association of Civil Societies for Sustainable Development are out to do just that. We will be coming soon to endorse a candidate we think fits the requirements for us to stand with this year.
